Welcome to the First Baptist Church of Norwich 239 West Main Street Norwich, Connecticut Phone: 860-889-0369
Our Most Recent Missional Church Project Was Saying Thank You To Our Neighbors! We are rethinking what it means to be a church in the 21st century. It's not all about Worship and Christian Education on Sunday mornings. That is only part of it. We are called to be a presence in our neighborhoods too. So we are heading out to the streets to perform simple acts of kindness. We want people to know we care. On May 17th we dropped in to visit the Firehouse next door and the Police Station around the corner. We came bringing all kinds of goodies and a box of Joe from Dunkin Donuts. It was a lot of fun and the first of many such outings we hope to make in the future. Our next Missional Church Event will be on July 4th. We will be greeting people who watch the fireworks from the front lawn of the Church with popcorn and a cold drink. Come and join us!
New Look Tag Sale Was A Success!
This year Mary Brockway offered to host the sale in a new way. Instead of us doing all the work and set up, we invited members and friends to have their own tables and do their own pricing, set up and clean up. We had a good crowd when the doors opened on May 30th. We raised about $400 for the church and another $92 on the bake table for the Mission trip. Several of our members had tables including: Mary Brockway, Amy Meyer, Fred & Gwyn Green, Nancy Allen, Erica Corbett, Muriel Roderick and Bob Walker. It was a fun day.
